Check out the Most MYSTERIOUS Archaeological Discoveries Science Can't Explain! From strange biblical archaeological finds to other unexplained bizarre discoveries, this top 10 list of recent ancient discoveries will amaze you!

10. The Piri Reis Map
In 1929, a German theologian was cataloging items in the Topkapi Palace Library in Istanbul, and he came across a gazelle skin parchment with an unusual map drawn onto it. Dated back to 1513, it was drawn and signed by Turkish cartographer Hagji Ahmed Muhiddin Piri, an admiral in the Turkish Navy at the time and the map is now known as the Piri Reis map.

9. The Jehoash Inscription
In 2001, a group of Israeli archaeologists were shown a stone tablet, supposedly dating back to 1000 BC, with writing that describes repairs that were made to the temple of Solomon… the first evidence ever to have been found about the renowned building. It underwent a series of tests, including radiocarbon dating, before being declared as a genuine artifact.

8. Spanish Hill, Pennsylvania
Spanish Hill, in Pennsylvania, was first described by an explorer in 1795 who said it was ‘the shape of a sugar loaf, about 100 feet high, with a level top, on which are the remains of intrenchments'. Others saw the remains of walls, and further archaeological investigations have found potential evidence of a Native American society, including shell heaps, corn, flint chips, and various other implements.

7. How Alexander the Great Died
By 323 BC, Alexander the Great had secured an empire that stretched from the Balkans to modern day Pakistan, but his at the age of 32 that year has been a mystery ever since. He was on the verge of attacking another empire, when he became ill and, after 12 excruciating days, finally passed away.

6. Otzi
In 1991, the body of a 5,000-year-old mummy, now known as Otzi, was discovered by mountain climbers. The remains of the 45-year-old were remarkably well preserved, which has allowed researchers to examine in detail the causes of this. Despite this, there's a lot that remains unknown, and there's still great debate about how he met his end.

5. Tikal Temple 33
Tikal Temple 33 was a 108-foot-high Maya funerary pyramid that was found in the remains of the Maya city of Tikal, along with a number of other monuments. It was built in three different stages of construction in the year 457 when King Siyaj Chan K'awiil II's shrine was remodeled, and it's one of the most investigated structures of the city.

4. The Cyrus Cylinder
The Cyrus Cylinder is a clay cylinder which is inscribed in Akkadian cuneiform script. It was created in 539 BC on order of Cyrus the Great, the founder of the first Persian empire when he took control of Babylon.

3. The Sandia Cave
The Sandia Cave in Las Huertas Canyon, New Mexico, was once believed to be a place with vast evidence of the earliest inhabitants to live on the continent, but a set of events has led the archaeological community to question everything that they once thought to be true.

2. The Runamo Inscription
With ancient cultures having used symbols that we wouldn't necessarily recognize today, how would you know for sure whether something was actually written, or just occurred naturally? That's the question that's divided archaeologists in the case of the Runamo inscription, which is located near a church in Blekinge in southern Sweden.

1. The Talpiot Tomb
In 1980, a tomb was unearthed at a burial site in the Talpiot neighborhood of East Jerusalem, and inside there were 10 ossuaries… some of which bore inscriptions that have been translated as saying ‘Jesus son of Joseph’, ‘Mary’, and a few other names associated with the New Testament. These names led some researchers to believe that this was the burial place of the family of Jesus of Nazareth, while many others rejected the idea, saying that these names were very common at the time.

Great video Katrina!!! Love it when you host them, you get to the point, and explain so well. Blessings, FranP.S. Taking the pyramid apart was sickening to me, and breaks my heart they had so little respect, it was moved to a landfill?! They should never be allowed in/on another site, just my opinion!

The last time the Library of Alexandria burned, a good portion of it's documents were saved and taken to Constantinople, which is now Istanbul. Chances are the older maps were taken from those that were taken by the Port of Alexandria, which had a quarantine. Every ship that came into port was boarded, and any documents were taken, and then the Library would evaluate them and decide if you got the original back after they made a copy, or if you got a copy back, and they kept the original. If there was an ancient seafaring race, and they had accurate knowledge of the earth as a globe, then they could have created the Mercator projection on their own, as we did when we needed to be able to flatten maps.

I can't believe they took apart a pyramid! They're so stupid and sad!

Dismantling a pyramid was a bad idea.

But then they actually dumped the stone in a landfill. No, that is a horrible idea. They should have had their school degrees revoked.

I found your site completely by chance, but I am loving all the interesting info you have. are subjects of great interest in my house for my daughter (who is autistic) & myself. Thank you for bringing all these discoveries (debated, accepted, debunked, etc) to a platform that can be accessed by the everyday person.
In regards to dismantling a pyramid, I will play 'devil's advocate'. Yes it was a bad idea & equally as stupid to dump the parts in a landfill, BUT it served as a 'learning curve or process' of what should/shouldn't be done to a site or structure regardless of whatever school of thought/belief/research you adhere to. At the end of the day a lesson was learned, although not a lesson that should be repeated anytime soon.

Would be nice if the video imagery actually matched the topics or story.

The Cyrus cylinder looks like something that was used to make copies on paper or parchment.

Never ok to take something ancient apart. It should have been respected and preserved until a better approach was available

Ötzi died bleeding to dead, reason wasn't easy to extract DNA from him.
It was from an arrow with blood in its point.

No, it’s NEVER okay to dismantle or destroy archeological sites.

The Turkish admiral’s map is more than likely authentic. The fact that other ruins have been discovered that are far older than the pyramids means that our traditional timelines are incorrect. Further, don’t forget the Chinese explored the world long before Columbus. Also don’t forget that there are ancient languages that have not been deciphered yet so who knows what is written there.

That temple never should have been dismantled. Shame on them! I am going to check out Spanish Hill PA. I live right in NJ

Okay I don't agree that they dismantled the pyramid and put in a landfill, maybe relocate it and actually make a public display somewhere more accessible 🤔 just my opinion

governments should require any tear down be replaced after excavation, with monetary and jail cells for those who refuse to restore.
